Reading the Smart Money Buys lane
A Smart Money Buys alert means wallets with a strong past record bought in.
Day to day, a buy is a fact. The reason behind it is a guess. Mega Lab uses the Smart Money Buys channel for the facts and keeps the guessing for later.
Mega Lab reads on-chain buying as evidence, with limits. One wallet can split into ten; a fresh wallet can belong to the deployer. The checks below cover both cases.
One habit: Open the buying wallet and read its last twenty trades before trusting the buy. Compare the buy size with pool liquidity; a buy that moves price far is also hard to exit.
Dated examples from the network
| Token | Chain | First alert cap | Tracked cap | Multiple | Report |

Historic examples only. Each multiple compares the reported market cap with the first alert. Many other alerts in the same period lost value.
What passes here
Filters are a choice, not a truth. This is the choice Mega Lab made for Smart Money Buys alerts:
- market cap at least $50.0K
- at least 250 holders
In the 29 most recent lane alerts at build time (about 4 hours), 6 passed this screen. Those that passed had a median market cap of $78.8K, median liquidity of $25.3K and about 422 holders.

|---|---|
| 1 | Open the chart and confirm the pool, the pair and the liquidity figure. |
| 2 | Test that you can sell a small amount before adding size. |
| 3 | Open the deployer wallet and read its earlier launches. |
| 4 | Set volume against pool depth and new holders over the same window. |
| 5 | Check holder concentration after excluding pool and burn wallets. |
| 6 | Check the first minutes for same-block buys from linked wallets. |
